However, it's also the only Commonwealth settlement not set up by the player to welcome Ghouls to live alongside non-Ghouls, due to the bigotry held against Ghouls by most people. It's also openly hostile to its closest neighbor, Diamond City, since it's mostly made up of people who were expelled from there. It's a Wretched Hive and most of its population are chem dealers, or homeless drifters.
Ironic Name: Goodneighbor.well, really isn't. Though similarly to the Followers of the Apocalypse having a presence in Freeside, the Railroad's generally benign (if rather discreet) presence helps as well. Although Goodneighbor is to Diamond City what Freeside is to the New Vegas Strip, Goodneighbor is, despite its rough appearance, far more organized, can fend for itself, and is actually safe. However, Goodneighbor is also far more formidable than Underworld and is fiercely independent, whereas Underworld's fate is still unknown (with it being implied that the BoS lynched the city/encouraged its residents to move somewhere else). While both Underworld and Goodneighbor are heavily populated by Ghouls and are very popular towns, Goodneighbor is more of a Wretched Hive while Underworld was more respectable. Foil: The city as a whole is one to both Underworld from the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave's Freeside. Film Noir: The city in general has this as a pervading element (albeit to a degree), coming complete with gangsters and a nightclub. Despite being ostensibly under Hancock's control, the city is largely a state of anarchy, but seems to take care of itself well enough. 100% Adoration Rating: Everyone in town seems to love Hancock.
